Just this week I had the joy (and related heartburn) of creating the latest rendition of the “yearly” family photo. Every year that I’ve done this I’ve faced a creative challenge, and this year was no different. Not only did I want to present a new concept that was distinct from previous years, but with […]
I recently purchased a couple LumoPro LP180 Speedlights in order to make my studio lighting more portable (carrying around AlienBees and the associated extension cords can be a pain at times). I wanted to test them out for lighting consistency, so I setup a simple 3-light layout and started shooting some stock portraits. I was very […]
We had a bit of a snow flurry out on the Palouse a couple days ago. I saw this as an opportunity to get some cool snow portraits and to experiment with a new technique I’d just learned, called the Brenizer Effect (also called the Brenizer Method). In this technique, the subject holds very still […]
Had a bit of an adventure today. Went driving around near Valley Ford, WA in search of a sunflower field I’d heard was in the area. Managed to find it just off the highway. It was quite the sight. I’d seen sunflower fields from a distance before, but being able to get out and get […]

ISO 100 | 17mm | f 8.0 | Bracketed Some people treat life like a big game. They run around from place to place, seeking thrills and excitement, trying to score big and make a name for themselves. Playing by the rules when it’s convenient, bending them when it’s not, they set their own course, […]
ISO 50 | 39mm | f 8.0 | 1/200 sec In a four-dimensional universe, there are certain constraints that bind all of humanity. We quickly grow accustomed to three of those dimensions (height, width, and depth) and learn to function within the limitations of physical space. Because 3-Dimensional space is tangible, it’s easy for us […]
